You know that having 5 star reviews is a great thing. You’re, going to show higher in search results and your going to get more new customers, which means more profit for your business, because people searching for businesses like yours, see you as a good option.
So let’s say someone comes to you with an idea on how to get more 5 Star Reviews. You decide to offer something in exchange for those reviews. Well, now you just got yourself in trouble.
How is that?
Well, if you look at the “fine print” of the different review sites, they will all have something about not offering something in exchange for someone leaving a review. They want “real” reviews.
These companies spend a lot of time and money looking for potentially fake reviews. And if they catch wind of it, either from their automated tools, or being tipped off by a competitor, they can remove your reviews, or even ban/unlist your company all together.
There was a recent case where a company got caught offering tickets to a local attraction in return for a 5 star review on Google.
Google found this out, and after reviewing their data, they removed all but one of the reviews left during the time in question. Now the company was out the tickets they gave away, as well as out of the reviews.
So what should you do?
Well, you need a way to ask for reviews, without offering something, but still making sure that you get 5 star reviews.
